Clos de Lunès
Lune d'Argent White Bordeaux Blend
Bordeaux, France
Blend of 70% Semillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc, pale lemon with delicate aromas of citrus, stone fruits and floral notes. On the palate flavors of apple, pear and lime citrus with notes of floral spice. Medium+ finish, rich, vivid acidity and ends with mineral spice. Nice!

Pale lemon color, stone fruit nose, medium body, medium alcohol, medium acidity. A bit underwhelming on the palate. Dry.

Drank 7/30/28. Nice pairing with Pasta ala Norcina. Really cuts through the richness.
Nose of lemon and stonefruit. Flavors of peach nectarine , and lemon curd with pleasant, yet not overpowering acidity that cuts through the fruit. Some oak integration gives complexity and a rich mouthfeel, yet the oak is barely detectable. One of my favorite value Bordeaux whites.
3/22/8/5/3 +50 = 91 pts

No grass detected. Lots of lees contact, hint of oak.

Mar 26th, 20182020 vintage. As usual terrific value. 70% Sémillon and 30% Sauvignon Blanc. Exotic fruit goes hand in hand with zesty acidity. Very good length with a hint of vanilla. Should be even better with a few years of bottle ageing. Abv.13%.

Nice break from California Chardonnay, clean, dry, fresh, excellent fruit. 70% sémillon and 30% Sauvignon. With aging potential. Costco.

On the round side. Nice acid in the finish though.

What a courteous wine, each element and sensation making room for the next. There’s waxiness and pyrazines and honeysuckle and flowers and vanilla beans but they are all teaming up to support citrus. But the team effort shines through. Balanced, delicious, interesting, it is a courteous wine. I don’t know if it is a thrilling one but I’d ask it out again. And maybe again. As the night goes it keeps revealing more of itself to me, I don’t mind seeing more.

I think this is stellar for $20! I paired it with crab au gratin and felt it married well with the richness of the dish
